Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lidar measuring system for detecting the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects in a space area remote from the lidar measuring system and a method for detecting the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects in one distant space area with the aid of such a lidar measuring system.
- Lidar light detection and ranging
- radar is a method closely related to radar, which uses laser light instead of the radio waves used in the case of radar. It can be used to remotely measure various atmospheric parameters and, in particular, remotely, to determine the presence, spacing and velocity of particles and other objects in the air or other atmosphere. In principle, it is possible to measure all the particles which scatter the light used and all objects which represent a reflective impurity in space or a scattering body.
- Lidar thus addresses the need, in various fields of the art, to determine physical parameters at locations remote from the actual measuring device in a spatially resolved, wireless and non-invasive manner as a function of time.
- lidar systems for determining wind speeds are based on the detection of the Doppler frequency shift of the scattered light caused by the scattering of laser light with particles moving with the wind (cf., for example, US Pat C. Weitkamp, Lidar - Range-resolved optical remote sensing of the atmosphere, Springer 2005 ). Therefore, only the wind speed in the line of sight of the laser beam used can be determined in each case.
- the Doppler frequency shift is determined interferometrically in most cases by superimposing the direct light scattered light received on a measuring device on the laser source used.
- the prior art uses highly coherent laser sources with coherence lengths of several hundred meters which correspond to optical source bandwidths in the sub-MHz range.
- basically two different approaches are known for achieving spatial resolution.
- continuous wave laser sources are used whose beam is focused on the respectively desired target distance with the aid of a suitable optical system, such as a lens or a telescope (cf., for example, US Pat WO 2005/114253 A1 ). If the focusing is appropriate, then in principle most of the received scattered light originates from the region close to the focus, so that by shifting the focus area different subsections of a spatial region of interest can be examined at different distances.
- a suitable optical system such as a lens or a telescope
- pulsed laser sources are used, the location being determined by a transit time measurement of the laser pulses.
- a pulse whose pulse width determines the spatial resolution which, for example, is 30 m for pulses having a width of 200 ns
- a plurality of resolution elements between e.g. 0 and 300 m distance from the measuring system are queried. These resolution elements are respective subsections of the spatial region of interest, which is traversed by the laser pulses.
- lidar measuring system having the features of claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 11.
- Advantageous embodiments of the lidar measuring system and the method are the subject of the respective dependent claims.
- the photodetector arrangement is adapted to output a detector signal characteristic of incident light emanating from the continuous wave laser source. It can have one or more photodetectors.
- the optical components are adapted and arranged so that light emitted by the continuous wave laser source during operation is first split, then along a measuring or signal branch of the interferometer arrangement forming first optical path and a separated from this and a reference branch of the interferometer arrangement forming second optical path and finally, after passing through the measuring branch and the reference branch spatially coherently superimposed on the photodetector arrangement impinges.
- the interferometer arrangement thus has the structure of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
- the reference branch has a predetermined optical path length
- the measuring branch has a measuring section, in which the light is directed away from the measuring system in the direction of a space area remote therefrom and at least partially through it and of particles or objects in the measuring section Direction of the measuring system backscattered or reflected light is received back to the measuring system.
- part of the optical path of the measuring branch is formed by the region of the surroundings of the measuring system, from which any photons which run from the measuring system in the direction of the distant spatial area until they are scattered or scattered on a particle Object are reflected, return to the measuring system and there coupled into the rest of the measuring branch.
- the optical path length of the measuring branch is thus determined for each photon by the distance of the particles or objects from the measuring system from which the scattered or reflected light reaching the photodetector arrangement originates.
- the removed space area forms part of the measuring section and, in an extreme case, may be identical to the measuring section.
- the measuring section encompasses the area of the surroundings of the measuring system, from which light which has been backscattered by particles or reflected by objects is coupled into the remainder of the measuring branch.
- the remote area is the area of interest for the detection, which can be chosen to be smaller or at most equal to the measuring section.
- the evaluation unit is coupled to the photodetector array and adapted to receive its detector signal and to determine based on the detector signal the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects in the remote space area.
- the latter can be done, for example, in particular in the same way as is known from the prior art.
- the movement and thereby the speed can take place in a known manner via the determination of the Doppler shift of the detected light.
- the continuous wave laser source is designed to have a coherence length in the range of 0.1 to 100 m, preferably in the range of 1 to 100 m, more preferably in the range of 1 to 50 m. Since coherent interference at the photodetector arrangement is only possible for scattered light of particles or reflected light of objects for which the optical path length of the measuring branch within the coherence length coincides with the optical path length of the reference branch, the highly limited coherence length becomes high and can be selected by suitable choice reached the coherence length selectable spatial resolution. In contrast, stray light or reflected light from particles or objects located outside this coherence region leads to a broadband background in the detector signal, which leads to a moderate reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio can lead, but does not affect the spatial resolution.
- the coherence region is smaller than the extent of the removed spatial region along the laser beam, then only a subsection of the removed spatial region is measured, so that by shifting the coherence region - for example by means of an optional means for changing the optical path length of the reference branch, but preferably mathematically in the manner set out in detail below - a spatial resolution determined by its extent can be achieved.
- the spatial resolution is advantageously independent of the distance of the respective examined subsection, which may also be referred to as a resolution element.
- the continuous wave laser source comprises a laser light generation component, an optical phase modulator connected downstream thereof, and a control device for controlling the optical phase modulator.
- the optical phase modulator is adapted to receive and phase-modulate the laser light emitted from the laser light generation component. It has a control signal input and is further adapted to perform the phase modulation based on a phase function defined by a control signal received at the control signal input.
- the controller is connected to the control signal input and adapted to provide to the control signal input a control signal corresponding to a noise signal or pseudo-noise signal defined by a predetermined phase function ⁇ (t), the control signal causing the optical phase modulator to perform the phase modulation the predetermined phase function ⁇ (t) makes.
- the optical power density spectrum of the laser light emitted by the continuous wave laser source thus obtains a shape determined by the phase function ⁇ (t), which may be, for example, Gaussian or Lorentzian, and bandwidth.
- the continuous wave laser source can thus be referred to as a synthetic laser source, for which, in contrast to natural laser sources, the phase function is known, which leads to a spectral broadening and deformation of the monochromatic laser light.
- the bandwidth determines the coherence length in the usual way. In this way, the same laser light generation component can advantageously be used to realize different coherence lengths and thus spatial resolutions.
- the laser light generation component which may be, in particular, a narrow-band and preferably single-mode continuous wave laser diode, preferably has a bandwidth of 100 kHz or less, and more preferably 10 kHz or less.
- the predetermined phase function ⁇ (t) is adjustable.
- Such adjustability provides the ability to adjust the spectral shape and / or bandwidth of the laser light emitted by the CW laser source.
- an appropriate phase function ⁇ (t) can be found by an iterative numerical method.
- a randomly selected phase function ie a random phase characteristic or a specifically selected phase function is assumed and the spectral shape and bandwidth of the laser light emitted by the optical phase modulator driven by this phase function are determined and the desired spectral shape calculated and bandwidth compared. Based on the comparison, the phase function is modified and the above steps are repeated. The process is continued until the desired result is achieved with sufficient accuracy.
- such an iterative method may be performed by selecting from a Gaussian magnitude spectrum and random phase spectrum is assumed. From this, the phase of the associated electric field strength is calculated by inverse Fourier transformation and its amplitude is set constant.
- the associated spectrum is calculated by Fourier transformation and the phase of the iteration process is started from the beginning. The process is continued until the desired result, eg a predetermined Gaussian amplitude and power density spectrum, is achieved with sufficient accuracy.
- the desired result eg a predetermined Gaussian amplitude and power density spectrum
- This embodiment has the great advantage that the spatial resolution can be changed without having to make any hardware changes or a mechanical movement of components. It is only necessary to select or set another suitable phase function ⁇ (t) at the control device.
- the spatial resolution is limited by the particular limited at long distances focusability of a laser beam, the spatial resolution can be easily, flexibly and quickly freely selected with high reproducibility in a wide range become.
- any disturbing effects of scattering on particles or reflection on objects outside the subarea of the removed spatial region determined by the coherence length and the optical path length of the reference branch, such as particles in upstream or downstream clouds, are reliably suppressed, and thus, the risk of misallocation of measured velocity values to locations is greatly reduced.
- the evaluation unit is adapted to perform the evaluation based on a function of the detection signal, the predetermined phase function and a time shift value ⁇ t shift thus selected in that the result of the function corresponds to the detector signal that would result from the selection of a reference branch which, compared with the actual reference branch, has a modified transit time by ⁇ t shift and thus also a correspondingly changed optical path length.
- This refinement is based on the knowledge that the detector signal not only contains the information about particles and objects required for the evaluation in the partial section of the removed spatial area corresponding to the actual optical path length of the reference branch and the coherence length, but also in each case already contains the information about particles and objects in other sections of the remote space at other distances from the measuring system.
- the knowledge of the phase function ⁇ (t) used to drive the optical phase modulator and to generate the light emitted by the CW laser source is required. This is not known for a natural laser source and would have to be laboriously determined.
- phase properties of the laser beam are generated synthetically, are only pseudo-random and are present numerically in the form of the phase function ⁇ (t).
- This phase function ⁇ (t) is found in a certain way in the complex amplitude of the detector signal, which can be deliberately numerically changed based on the knowledge of the phase function ⁇ (t), thereby for the purposes of the evaluation simulate an optical path length of the reference branch deviating from the actual optical path length.
- the portion of the remote space area from which light originates that is coherently superimposed and used for detection in the manner described with the light of the reference branch i. the position of the resolution element be moved without retesting.
- information can be obtained from a large area and not just from the focus area by means of a single measurement, and the spatial resolution can be selected in a targeted and distance-independent manner. In this way, it is very simple and flexible to carry out a spatially resolved measurement at different subsections of the distant spatial region with adjustable spatial resolution and thus to determine certain properties of the different subsections remotely.
- the complex detector signal - possibly in addition to temporally constant portions - contains a time-variable component, which is proportional to e i ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ t + t d - ⁇ t where t d is the transit time difference between the reference branch and the measurement branch as determined by the removal of the scattering particles.
- the optical components comprise a beam splitter, such as, in particular, a fiber optic coupler for splitting the light emitted by the continuous wave laser source, optical fibers defining at least a portion of the reference branch, and / or optical fibers forming a portion of the measuring branch define an optical frequency shifter, eg formed by an acousto-optic modulator, in the measuring branch and / or in the reference branch, an optical amplifier, e.g.
- an erbium fiber amplifier in the measuring branch or before the division into the measuring and reference branch, an adjustable polarization controller in the reference branch and / or in the measuring branch and / or a beam combiner, in particular a fiber-optic coupler, for combining the along the measuring branch and along the reference branch guided light at the end of the measuring branch and the reference branch.
- the optical components comprise a radiating and receiving device which defines the beginning and the end of the measuring section of the measuring branch and is adapted to radiate the light away from the measuring system in the direction of the spatial area and to receive backscattered light again that this along the rest the measuring branch is guided.
- the radiating and receiving device may comprise a receiver spatially separated from an emitting device (ie, a bistatic system), or a component adapted at one location for both radiating and receiving laser light (ie, a monostatic system).
- the combined emitting and receiving device may in particular comprise an optical circulator and / or a lens system.
- the interferometer arrangement is constructed in the form of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two photodetectors arranged and configured for balanced reception, the detector signal being a difference between the output signals of the two photodetectors. In this way, disturbances can be removed from the detector signal in a conventional manner.
- the lidar measuring system further comprises a polarization beam splitting device or elements arranged and adapted to operate, in operation, light of the continuous wave laser source guided along the measuring branch, and Light of the continuous wave laser source, which is guided along the reference branch, each split into light of two orthogonal polarization directions.
- the photodetector arrangement is arranged and adapted to separately detect the spatially coherently superimposed light for the two polarization directions after passing through the measuring branch and the reference branch.
- the detector signal then comprises two sub-detector signals, each of which is characteristic of light of one of the two directions of polarization.
- the photodetector array may comprise two separate spatially separated photodetectors and the polarization beam splitter array may be arranged and configured such that the light of the two polarization directions impinges only on a different one of the two photodetectors.
- the beat signals of the measuring branch and the reference branch are separately detected in the polarization direction in exactly the same manner as described above independently of the polarization direction. Due to the separate consideration of the two polarization directions, however, it can be determined by the evaluation unit whether the state of polarization has been retained in the scattering or reflection, which is generally the case in most cases, or if a shift to the orthogonal polarization state has been effected. If the latter is the case, then one can make statements about the type and shape of the scattering or reflection body in a known manner.
- the evaluation unit is accordingly adapted to determine changes in the polarization state by the detected particles and / or objects on the basis of the two partial image signals and, if necessary, to provide information about the type and / or shape of the detected particles and / or objects.
- the laser light generation component is adapted to simultaneously or alternately laser light of two wavelengths radiate. Since the optical phase modulator acts on both wavelengths, the laser light emitted from the continuous wave laser source comprises two wavelength ranges in the vicinity of the two wavelengths in which the optical power density spectrum each has a shape and bandwidth determined by the phase function ⁇ (t).
- the photodetector arrangement is arranged and adapted to separately detect the spatially coherently superimposed light for the two wavelength ranges after passing through the measuring branch and the reference branch.
- the detector signal then comprises two sub-detector signals, each of which is characteristic of light of one of the two wavelength ranges.
- the detector signals delivered during the corresponding time segments correspond to the two partial image signals.
- the beat signals of the sense branch and the reference branch after the two wavelength ranges are separately detected in exactly the same manner as described above independently of the wavelength range. If, in addition to scattering particles and / or reflecting objects, there is gas between them and the measuring system and this gas absorbs the light of one wavelength range, the light of the other wavelength range does not or is much less, however, due to the separate consideration of the two wavelength ranges Evaluation unit, the amount of absorbent gas are detected. If now the evaluation in the manner described for a variety of different time shift values .DELTA.t displacement made, each corresponding to a different subsection of the removed space area, can also spatially resolved, the concentration of the gas in the various sections are determined. This method is known per se with the exception of the manner according to the invention for achieving spatial resolution and is referred to as Differential Induction Lidar (DIAL).
- DIAL Differential Induction Lidar
- the evaluation unit is accordingly adapted to carry out the evaluation on the basis of a function of the two sub-sector signals, the predetermined phase function and a plurality of different time shift values .DELTA.t shift , each corresponding to a different portion of the removed space area, and spatially resolved to determine the concentration of at least one gas having different absorption coefficients for the two wavelength ranges. Since the measurement is based on the fact that the laser light during the scattering is not significantly broadened spectrally by thermal movement of the scattering bodies, it is imperative that in addition to the gas to be measured suitable particles and / or objects are present in the distant space area.
- the measuring system described above may be used advantageously for carrying out a method for detecting the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects in a remote spatial area.
- the measuring branch is arranged in the manner, i. in particular, the measuring section is arranged such that the removed spatial area is part of the measuring section or in extreme cases forms the measuring section.
- the continuous wave laser source is operated in order to simultaneously guide laser light along the measuring branch and along the reference branch in the manner described.
- the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects in the remote space area is then determined with the aid of the evaluation unit in the manner already described.
- the shape and / or the bandwidth of the optical power density spectrum of the laser light emitted by the continuous wave laser source is adjusted by the predetermined Phase function ⁇ (t) is set according to the control device.
- the spatial resolution can be specifically adapted to the respective requirements.
- a lidar measuring system which contains a continuous wave laser source containing an optical phase modulator and an evaluation unit, which is adapted to the evaluation based on a function of the detector signal, the predetermined phase function and a Time shift value .DELTA.t shift is changed at the evaluation unit, the time interval .DELTA.t shift to change the distance of a subsection of the space region of the lidar measuring system, wherein the subsection contains the particles whose backscattered light in the coherent superimposition of guided along the measuring branch light and the light guided along the reference branch contributes to the interference.
- the light of two different polarization detected using the evaluation based on the two sub-detector signals changes in polarization state determined by the detected particles and / or objects and From this, information about the type and / or shape of the particles and / or objects is obtained.
- one of the above-described lidar measurement systems detects the light of two different wavelength ranges, with the aid of the evaluation unit on the basis of a function of the two detector signals, the predetermined phase function and a plurality of different time shift values .DELTA.t shift , each of which corresponds to a different subsection of the removed space area, determined in a spatially resolved manner the concentration of at least one gas which is responsible for the both wavelength ranges has different absorption coefficients.
- lidar measuring system 1 has a continuous wave laser source 2 with an output power of eg 1 mW and a wavelength of eg 1530 nm, the light through a beam splitter 3 in the form of a fiber optic coupler on a partial fiber optic defined measuring branch 4 and a fully fiber optic defined reference branch 5 is divided.
- the optical fibers used are preferably monomode fibers with low attenuation and a field radius of, for example, 5 ⁇ m.
- a further fiber-optic coupler 6 for combining the light of measuring branch 4 and reference branch 5 is arranged.
- the light is spatially coherently superimposed thereon, and various portions of the coherently superimposed light are directed to the two photodetectors 7a, 7b of the photodetector array 7, which may be, for example, InGaAs detectors and their for them incident light characteristic detector signals in a subtraction element 8 are subtracted from each other for the elimination of interference.
- the difference signal is finally fed to an evaluation unit 9, in which the difference signal for detecting the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects is evaluated.
- Reference branch 5 has an adjustable fiber-optic polarization controller 10 and a detour path, for example in the form of a wound-up section 18 of the fiber.
- the measuring branch 4 successively comprises an erbium fiber amplifier 11 with an output power of e.g. 1 W, an acousto-optic modulator 12 having a frequency of e.g. 80 MHz and an optical circulator 13.
- the circulator 13 By means of the circulator 13, light is transmitted via a fiber section 14 of a transmitting / receiving lens 15 having a focal length of e.g. 250 mm and focused in the area surrounding the measuring system 1. If the light in this area encounters backscattering particles in such a way that it returns to the lens 15, it is coupled back into the fiber section 14 and then into the rest of the measuring section 4 via the circulator 13.
- the area in which light can pass back to the lens 15 due to backscattering of particles represents a measuring section 16 of the measuring branch 4.
- the presence and / or movement of particles and / or objects can occur in the entire measuring section 16 or only in one Part of this are detected, which is referred to in the present application as a remote space area.
- the remote space area is therefore the part of the measuring section 16 of interest for a specific measurement.
- the continuous wave laser source 2 comprises a laser diode 20 and a downstream optical phase modulator 21, the modulation behavior of which is controlled by a control device 22 which determines the modulation function defining a pseudo-noise signal defining phase function ⁇ (t).

- the detection can be carried out spatially resolved for different sections 17 at different distances from the lens 15 purely spatially without changes to the described structure.
